Preparation and Evaluation of Semi-Synthetic Shampoo Tablet

The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of semi-synthetic shampoo tablets as an alternative to conventional liquid shampoos. The main aim was to develop a solid dosage form that is easy to handle, eco-friendly, and suitable for travel, while maintaining effective cleansing properties. Shampoo tablets were prepared using selected semi-synthetic polymers and evaluated for physical parameters such as weight variation, friability, hardness, and foamability. The results showed that the tablets had uniform weight, acceptable friability (0%), and good mechanical strength. Foam quality and cleansing ability were found to be satisfactory, indicating the potential of shampoo tablets as a promising alternative in personal care products. This study supports the development of sustainable and user-friendly hair care formulations.
